So, it affected you and drove you to tears even though other actors were in the TOS character roles? Is that actually possible?
You know, sometimes you people can be really condescending toward any dissenting opinion. I don't know if you meant it that way, but it does kinda seem like that comment may have been aimed more in my direction than his. Am I not allowed to have my own opinion? Because I just got reamed in a PM by someone who had sent me some links to other fan productions; I thanked him but said that I watched "In Harm's Way" and didn't think the acting was very good, and he accused me of "self-justifying" and acting superior. If that's what I'm doing, I seem to be in good company. I just spent an hour downloading WEAT, just to make sure that I'm giving this thing a fair shake, but I'm afraid that if I end up liking it, and say so, it'll just give you people an excuse to feel more superior.
Okay, I get that in the written word, tone can be misinterpreted, and maybe you've misinterpreted mine just as much, but in more than just that one sarcastic remark, it really seems like coming onto a Phase II-related thread (and mind you, when I came on it was in the TOS board, so I thought it may have been about the old unmade series) and saying simply that it's not the same as TOS (which it's objectively not) gets you treated like a second-class citizen. Maybe I'm just over-sensitive because people who don't like STXI get treated that way by a lot of people around here, so I'm sorry if that's not how you meant it. But I think that jabs like that are a pretty good way to drive away people who are trying to be open-minded.
